As a Principal Product Designer, you will conceptualise and deliver industry-leading experiences. You’ll mentor our Jira design team, lead strategic initiatives, set cohesive vision, and manage interconnected projects so Jira feels designed by one hand.

As a Product Designer at Atlassian, you'll:

• Make a substantial impact at scale. We have more than 10M users worldwide, and teams both large and small depend on our software. As a designer involved from product strategy to UI implementation, your work will have direct customer impact.
